I made a video to answer a patron's question - and I might do it again! (Patreon)

Hello, patrons! I feel guilty that I don't communicate with you directly very often. In general, anything I want to say to you, I also want to say to the entire fanbase, so pretty much any announcement I want to make is made on my blog. I'm sure that most of you already know that you should check my blog for the latest development news (such as this recent big update) but I still feel like I'm neglecting you guys when I don't post anything here for a long stretch of time.

Anyway - on to the subject of today's post!

One of you patrons asked me a question, and I thought it was such an interesting question that I decided to make a video to answer it. The creation of the video went by relatively quickly, since I was able to make it entirely using pre-existing footage and copyright-free images (paintings from around 200 years ago).

I feel guilty that I rarely create cool content for my patrons, and recently, I’ve been trying to figure out what kind of rewards I could offer to you. However, there are three obstacles in my way:

1. Whatever I create for you patrons has to be something that doesn’t take too much time away from the game’s development, or else it would be counter-productive.
2. I can’t offer any physical goods, because manufacturing and shipping physical goods is very expensive. Any rewards for you patrons would have to be digital rewards.
3. I want everything that I create to be public, so it’s really difficult for me to consider the possibility of making something that will be exclusive to patron supporters, even if it’s only for a short period of  time.

So - what could I provide that could be made quickly, digitally, and shared with the world, while still being a worthy reward for your support? Above, you can see one potential idea: A simple video that exists to answer a patron’s question in thorough detail.

It’s too early to promise whether or not I’ll regularly make videos like this; it kinda depends on how often I hear especially thought-provoking questions. But, if it would be an enticing  reward, I’d definitely consider it.

Imagine the addition of a hypothetical $20 Tier: "YandereDev will make a simple video to answer any question or  discuss any topic related to Yandere Sim. Video will be at least 5  minutes long.”

Would you join that tier?
